The Rutherford Twins {Book One}

Chapter 38

Nancy's P.O.V

"This is out of the line now, Kimberly! I am sick and tired of pretending that the things you've been doing to me are okay! They are not! They are psychotic and inhuman. I mean, carrying your jealousy into act - into murder and now, blackmail? I'm done!" I spill the anger that has bottled in me since I saw the letter an hour ago.

It's been an hour I received that letter. The moment I read it, I knew it was Kimberly and I had to confront her. I'm so sick of all these games.

I drove to her house first (I got the address from one of her files that Cassius left in my storage room). Thank God for that. She wasn't there. I was quite surprised because it's Christmas and she was supposed to be taking a break, but then again, a restless human being like her would obviously not be in her house resting... She's in her office, working - planning the next thing to do to Nina and I.

What the hell is wrong with some people? Can't they just contain their jealousy? Can't they let the people they're jealous of live their lives? Must they ruin it? Jeez...

Kimberly looks completely taken aback. "I'm sorry, what did you just say? And why did you just barge into my office?"

"Barge? You're more concerned about why I barged in?" I scoff unbelievably.

She narrows her eyes at me, folding her lips into her mouth before she speaks. "Look, Nancy... I know you're missing Cassius and all, but I never expected you to go mad. He's only been away for a month. Put yourself together." She goes back to arranging the files on her desk.

Is she crazy?

I throw the piece of paper containing the threatening words on her table. "Does that look proof enough or are you going to say I made it up, cause according to you, I'm mad..."

She glances at me briefly before opening the paper properly. She doesn't seem moved as she reads it. She looks up at me, shaking her head. "I don't know what kind of secret camera you placed somewhere for a film you planned, but I'm not in the mood to act." She says dryly.

What is wrong with this woman?!

"Kimberly! I know you had feelings for my father, but he's dead! Okay? He's dead, so stop trying to make Nina and I pay for something that is senseless." I scream angrily.

This is not happening.

She removes the glasses she had on. "Look, Nancy, we are not mates, okay? I don't know what has gotten into you and frankly I don't care, but control your attitude and words when you're around me, got that?"

"Who sent it then?" I ask her, completely ignoring what she just asked.

She shrugs. "I don't know! How many enemies do you have? Ask yourself, but it isn't me!"

"You killed Carlos cause you found out that he almost reported your identity to Paulina and I, didn't you?" I'm really looking forward to her confession.

She gives me an unbelievable look. "Seriously, you need to visit a psychiatrist, cause I don't know what screws have gone loose up there in your head! What is the meaning of this rubbish?"

"Just say the truth already!" I yell; annoyed.

She looks at the opposite side of the room, sighing. "If you don't walk out of my office, I'll call security to do so. You choose."

I laugh hysterically. "So that's how it's gonna be? You're just going to shy away from what I already know? I know it's you. It's you that collected that tape from the hospital to disgrace Nina. I just decided to stay calm cause I thought your spite would calm down... But no, it didn't. Then you found out that Carlos disclosed some useful information about you to Paulina and I and you got him killed. Now, you decide to blackmail me with letters? How did you even get into my house?"
